Information

AskMN.org is the 24/7 statewide cooperative digital reference service for Minnesota that began in March, 2008 with eight participating libraries. Working from either a public queue or academic queue, AskMN librarians provide real-time online assistance using chat to help patrons from across the state with their information requests.
